      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Folsom, CA) in Dec 2010

      Interview

      I had a telephone interview and the questions where pretty basic ... what is a State Machine? What is a Latch? How do you construct a TFF our of a DFF? ... I passed the telephone interview and I was asked to come onsite. Everything that I studied pretty much came up in the onsite interview ... however, question began to get harder beyond the scope of what I had either put on my resume, or in the actual application. What I noticed in the paperwork was that although the position that I was applying for was for a Recent College Graduate (RCG), the paperwork showed "experience" ... I had experience as a Apps Engineer, but not as a Component Design Engineer. Given that I was applying for something entirely different (Verilog, Timing related, Synthesis related) and just had graduated from a Masters program, I still was being considered an experience candidate. Make sure that you tell them that if you apply as a RCG, that it should be that way and not as an experienced candidate.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      It was a CPU question at the gate level ... I have never seen this question in either of my Bachelors or Masters level classes. It was not a question about the CPU Architecture to be clear.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      Please try to be as detailed as possible regarding the technical question, business case, etc.

      I interviewed at Intel Corporation (Chandler, AZ)

      Design a state machine to control a four way intersection of varying time traffic lights.
